Summer solstice occurs on June 21
The Royal Astronomical Society of the United Kingdom has announced that this year's summer solstice will occur on Sunday, June 21. On this day, the Sun will be directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer at an angle of 23.5 degrees, marking its highest point of the year. The day will last for 14 hours and 29 minutes, making it the longest day of the year. This period is also characterized by changing weather patterns and rising temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere, while winter begins in the Southern Hemisphere. After the solstice, the Sun gradually moves southward again, leading to the start of the autumnal equinox on September 23.
